6 - SIRIO preparation and commissioning During transportation pay attention not to cause collisions and/or damage to the equipment. Always position flat,

avoiding crushing and/or breakage.

6.1 SIRIO positioning

Demonstrative photo equivalent for all BOROTTO incubator models of the REAL series

Position SIRIO on a flat surface.

Do not place other objects between the product and the plane, for example tablecloths or covers.

Position SIRIO next to the incubator, placing a water container nearby. Any container can be used: bottle, canister,

etc., as long as it is clean inside. Dirty containers may result in the development of bacterial flora during incubation,

causing the death of the embryo.

Insert the suction pipe (the one connected to the rubber holding connector with the writing “IN” engraved on the

transparent bottom of the appliance) in a container of water.

SIRIO also works with tap water! As long as it is clean.

of 12 Rev 03

6.2 Valve positioning

Insert the 2 valves with the pipes already connected to the incubator nozzles, making sure that they sufficiently penetrate the bottom in order to ensure hermetic seal. Attention to their insertion direction, it should follow the shape of the nozzle.

ATTENTION: if the filling nozzles become encrusted with limestone, remove it with anti-scaling agent before inserting the valves.

6.3 Sensor positioning

Insert the humidity sensor inside the incubator, positioning it above the flap in the corner (use a minimum amount of pressure to ensure blocking).

The sensor cable must remain resting on the flat side on the edge of the incubator as shown in the photo. It is a special anti-crushing cable, therefore it will not be damaged with the machine closed.

Not perfectly closing the cover does not compromise functionality and the hatching results of the incubator in any way.

of 12 Rev 03

Position the humidity sensor on the opposite side of the incubator, compared to the filling nozzles.

DO NOT PLACE THE SENSOR ABOVE THE WATER INLET TANKS!

7– Using SIRIO during incubation

Turn on the incubator and make it run dry without water and without eggs for at least a few hours.

After two hours of no-load operation, insert the eggs and make it run for at least another 2-3 hours.

After the 2-3 hours of incubator operation with the eggs inserted, turn on Sirio by inserting the power supply jack

in its front socket. Next insert the feeder plug into a power outlet.

The display will show the desired humidity value detected, the symbol “H” means “humidity”.

To set the desired humidity value, act on the buttons (+) and (-) located on the control panel. By pressing

indifferently on one of the two keys, you enter the memory (the letter “P” appears next to the numbers), then press

the keys on impulse until the desired value is reached, as per paragraph No. 9. Once the humidity is set, wait for this

value to be saved (when current internal humidity re-appears along with the letter “H” on the display).

From this moment, SIRIO starts working by pumping water inside the incubator when necessary, making a rotating

symbol appear on the display. In other moments the appliance remains in standby

SIRIO is programmed to inject small drops of water little by little, in order to allow the evaporation which

determines the environment required relative humidity. Upon start-up, it will require 2 to 4 hours to reach the set

humidity value. If the quantity of water inside the incubator is more than necessary, the time required to reach the

set humidity value may be longer.

ATTENTION: if for brief periods (even a whole day) the humidity is not correct, this does NOT result in any imbalance

in the incubating process in progress.

ATTENTION: if during incubation it were necessary to carry out candling or cool down the eggs (as with

incubation of palmipeds), disconnect SIRIO from the power outlet before opening the cover. This will keep the

pump from continuing to insert water into the incubator when the humidity goes down due to opening.

Once the operations are completed, reconnect SIRIO to the power outlet after at least two hours.

of 12 Rev 03

ATTENTION: Do not incubate with the environment temperature below 20°C. Below this value, the temperature

of the plastic bottom of the incubator (cold) does not allow the water to evaporate. SIRIO then continues to

pump water into the incubator, unnecessarily flooding it.

Thus, if during the incubation the water level were detected as higher than that of the eggcup, immediately

disconnect the SIRIO feeder, in order to avoid flooding the eggs!

8 – Using SIRIO during hatching

Once the incubation phase is completed, to move on to the hatching phase:

• disconnect SIRIO from the feeder.

• next, proceed to prepare the incubator for hatching (see the instructions manual of your incubator).

• once preparation for hatching is complete, reconnect SIRIO to the feeder once the incubator temperature is

once again stable at the set value.

• Set SIRIO to the value as per the table in paragraph No 9.

• at the end of the hatching, before disconnecting the incubator from the power outlet, remove the SIRIO

humidity sensor from inside. If left in the incubator after it has been turned off, it would be ruined due to

the possible condensation.

NOTE: During hatching, especially if the incubator is placed in a dry environment, remember that the water inserted

by SIRIO may overflow from the internal trays and spill onto the rest of the bottom of the incubator.

Even not reaching the set humidity value does not compromise the result. In fact, the first chick births, since they

are wet, will cause a quick increase of the relative humidity level.

ATTENTION: Do not incubate with the environment temperature below 20°C. Below this value, the temperature of

the plastic bottom of the incubator (cold) does not allow the water to evaporate. SIRIO then continues to pump

water into the incubator, unnecessarily flooding it.

Thus, if during the hatching the water level were detected as higher than that of the hatching grid, immediately

disconnect the SIRIO feeder, in order to avoid flooding the eggs!

9- Humidity parameters for incubation

Indicative table for any poultry:

During incubation phase: 45% RH

During hatching phase 60% RH

Indicative table for exotic birds:

During incubation phase: 40% RH

During Hatching phase: 60% RH

ATTENTION: it is recommended that the relative humidity during the incubation is maintained at relatively low

values, rather than high. The egg must in fact loose about 11-13% of its initial weight, in this way, it will enable the

creation of a large air chamber, which in the next phase of hatching, will enable the chick to dilate the lungs, slip the

beak on easily, take the first breath and start more vigorously to break the shell.

Even during hatching, too high humidity values determine the formation of condensation on the egg, plugging the

pores of the shell. This reduces the embryo respiration, weakening it and reducing its strength to break the shell. At

values higher than 75% of relative humidity, the pores of the shell are completely occluded, leading to the death by

asphyxia of the chick!

of 12 Rev 03

10– Using SIRIO with other brand incubators

The process and the incubation and hatching parameters do not significantly differ from other brand incubators, the

only thing that could change significantly is the structure of the machine that depends on the manufacturers design.

To apply SIRIO to an incubator machine different from the Borotto ones:

- remove the 2 rubber valves from the tubes (those normally inserted in the nozzles);

- pass the 2 tubes by the ventilation holes. If there were any missing, add as needed. The PVC pipes must

reach the tray or the water trays present inside the incubator, leave the two tubes resting in the tray or trays

depending on the incubator model.

- Position the humidity sensor into the incubator and fasten it with a zip tie like those used by electricians. If

it was not possible to insert the humidity sensor through any air intake, pass it through the egg loading

door. The anti-crushing cable will however ensure its functionality.

11- SIRIO maintenance and cleaning ATTENTION: SIRIO only works with a temperature above 36°C. To make it work, the sensor must be inserted into the incubator regularly on. The operation described below is extremely recommended, since if SIRIO is left stopped for more than one month, water may stagnate in the pipes, giving origin to bacterial flora that when pumped into the incubator may generate bacterial contamination of the embryo, causing it to die! Therefore, at the end of each incubation cycle:

• blow (best if using compressed air) the sensor, absolutely avoiding opening the sensor-door;

• Carry out the following routine cleaning and disinfection of the water circuit: - bring the humidity value set on the display to the maximum; - insert the water intake tube into a solution of water and 10% bleach or amukine; - let the pump run for approximately 15 minutes, recovering and disposing of the pumped aqueous solution; - leave the pump running dry for another 15 minutes.

We recommend using bleach since it destroys the bacterial flora and any residue does not damage the embryos under development. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES FOR CLEANING AND SANITISING SIRIO FOR ANY REASON! With variable frequency, depending on hardness of the water used and after a few hatching cycles, besides the described washing of the water circuit using disinfectant solution, it is possible to carry out a descaling cycle, using the same procedure, a solution of water and descaling agent or vinegar. During a stop period, at least once a month, turn on SIRIO and run it dry for few minutes, this will make it possible to eliminate the memory effect from the pumps where they are crushed.

12 - Disposal In implementation of Directives 2011/65/EU and 2012/19/EU, LEGISLATIVE DECREE 4 March 2014, no. 27 and LEGISLATIVE DECREE 14 March 2014 , no. 49, relative to the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment and the disposal of waste, the symbol of the crossed wheelie bin, shown here, indicates that at the end of its service life the product must be collected separately from other waste. The user shall therefore deliver the appliance at the end of its service life to the suitable electric and electronic separate waste collection facilities. Appropriate separate collection for subsequent recycling of the decommissioned appliance, treatment and environmentally compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment and health and promotes the recycling of the materials the appliance consists of. Unlawful disposal by the user involves the application of the administrative sanctions provided for by the laws in force. The information related to the correct procedure of available collection systems must be obtained from the Local Waste Disposal Service.
